Document Summary
The cognitive biases heuer considers all concern some aspect of the evaluation of evidence. There are many other kinds of biases which affect directly the way in which we behave and the choices we make. Cognitive biases are mental errors caused by information processing strategies that are simplifying. The strategy is to simplify and drop some of the data. Moral bias is inclination or prejudice for or against one group that is considered unfair. Difference between moral and cognitive bias: cognitive biases has to do with errors that are not adaptive. So if you apply strategies, you commit errors that lead to sub optimal results: moral bias has to do with fairness. When we say someone is bias, we are talking about moral bias. Two types of moral biases: explicit moral bias: attitudes or belief that one endorses at conscious level.
